Dear Logan Families,
Last week, our school came together for a wonderful MLK assembly celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. King. All grades performed, and I’m so proud of our students for stepping onto the stage, especially after losing rehearsal time to the snow day. Thank you to Ms. Joslin for doing such a great job helping them prepare!
Yesterday, Logan’s PTSO sponsored a Day of Service as part of our celebration of Dr. King. About 50 students and their family members joined us to make 24 blankets that will be donated to Ronald McDonald House, and they prepared more than 100 bag lunches that will be donated to Food Gatherers. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped bring Dr. King’s message to life in our community.
In this Weekly Update, I’ve included important information about:

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Will Wright
Dress for the Weather
With this week’s cold weather, it's a good time to send a reminder about appropriate winter clothing. We go outside in nearly all weather unless temperatures are below zero, so please make sure your child comes to school with warm layers each day. Hats, gloves or mittens, snow pants, warm jackets, and waterproof boots are all necessary when there is snow or slush.We also recommend sending a change of clothes to keep at school, especially dry socks, so children can stay comfortable if their clothes get wet.
If your child does not have needed winter gear and your family doesn't have the resources right now, please let us know. We're happy to help and can connect you with school resources to make sure every student stays warm and safe.
Building Safety and Building Visitors
In light of recent news, including the recent incident in Romulus and information shared this weekend by Superintendent Parks about Haisley Elementary, I wanted to send some reminders about building safety and our visitor policies. Safety is our most important priority. All visitors must be buzzed in at the front door. When attempting to buzz in, please be prepared to state your reason for visiting the building; after being admitted, all visitors must sign in at the office. While in the building, always wear a visitor badge. And as always, if you see anything that raises a concern for you, please contact our staff immediately.
I want to assure you that Logan continues to be a safe, caring community and thank you in advance for helping us keep it that way.
Upcoming NWEA Testing
All students in grades K–5 will take the Winter NWEA tests the week of January 26–January 30. Classroom teachers will share specific testing schedules for each class.
To help your child do their best:
Ensure they get a good night's sleep the night before testing.
Provide a healthy breakfast each morning.
Encourage a calm, positive attitude and remind them to try their best.
Make sure they arrive at school on time and bring any needed items (e.g., glasses).
Thank you for your support in helping our students do their best work on these tests.
